Owners Condominium Committee Turkey

We now have a committee - it took some doing.  The developer wanted to keep control, I wonder why? There were a couple of attempts but they didn't do it according to the strict rule of law and to get everyone on board that's what you have to do. 
The developer tried first but he wasn't accounting for the money properly, he wasn't paying people with the obvious problems associated with that.  There were lots of 'hangers on' and the owners who were paying the management fee felt they had to do something about it.
We formed a co-op - a few owners got together, it wasn't strictly legal as far as the condominium law was concerned but at least the owners trusted that their money wasn't being wasted and it was a stop gap until a properly elected committee could be formed.  The management fee wasn't enough because half the site weren't paying their way, namely the developer and the properties he still had in his name (some of which had been sold and not handed over properly - there lies another story).  The co-op increased the fees which we hope in time will be reduced once we have everyone paying their way.
The next attempt still didn't satisfy the law - we decided to take legal advice.  The developer owned more than 50% of the land but we had the majority of the property votes so it took 2 meetings to elect the committee.  That was in 2010, we had our meeting for 2012 in Turkey and despite the developers best efforts we re-elected the committee the majority wanted.
There are still some problems to sort due to unfinished services and poor workmanship but we battle on.
